Bulldogs’ Bobo to Mason: Relax and play ball

Georgia quarterback Hutson Mason will have prepared a few weeks for his second college start in the bowl game compared to one game week for Georgia Tech after Aaron Murray was lost for the season with a torn ACL.

‚ÄúEarly on the first couple of practices, it was more like spring ball when you‚Äôre calling plays, not necessarily game planning anything, you‚Äôre working on fundamentals and trying to work on some things you may want to try to improve from the season,‚Äù offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said.

Bobo is trying to get Mason into a routine that suits him and his style of play.

‚ÄúI‚Äôve been pleased,‚Äù Bobo said. ‚ÄúI still want him to be Hutson Mason. We talked about that a little bit today. ‚ÄòI don‚Äôt want you to try to Aaron Murray or try to be Mike Bobo. I want you to be Hutson Mason and we‚Äôll do things to fit your strengths and you‚Äôve got to be relaxed and play ball.‚Äô‚Äù

Bobo said Georgia will have its entire game plan in for Nebraska before the team wraps up its on-campus bowl practices on Saturday.
